I got called to come to my son's school to help change his insulin pod. I got there to discover that the app on his phone had thrown a memory corruption error and wiped out all of his insulin dosage settings

Fortunately, I have been keeping a copy of those settings in a self-hosted git repository, mostly so that I could look through the git history and see how the numbers change over time. This helps me understand the impacts that some of these changes are having

So there I am in his school's office on my phone reading a CSV off of my @forgejo instance and plugging all of his dosage settings back into the app on his phone

We use these tools to store our source code. But here I am using it for the code that keeps my son alive.

if you have read up or are knowledgeable about the possible correlation between #T1D and #GenderDysphoria or the higher-than-typical prevalence of T1Ds identifying as #transgender, or the possible link between #A1C and #GAHT, or perhaps experience with #insulin resistance related to #GAHT / #HRT, would you like to chat? i have so so many questions.
